came back found his way to Kansas City
and bought lot. He went home, and
when he arrived there he found his lot
had been sold for enough in advance Of
its cost to pay the expenses of his
entire trip across the continent. OF
course there is no limit to
what community can do living in such
place as this and sctueted By the spiri
which these incidents manifest. Thus
we find the value of real estate transfer
red for the first six months Of 1886 to be
something over S27, 800, 900, while for the
first six months of the present year the
amount is more than S62 000,-
OO0. All transfers Of real estate
are not indicative OF an actual
substantial city prosperity. The mere
passing Of land from owner 10 owner at
enhanced prices may be symptom of
speculationsWhich sreslly creates no new
value, and ADDS nothing to the municipal
wealth or progress, but when buildings
are put up by the purchasers of the land
snd tenants are found to occupy them ;or
trade or residence, it is pretty sure
sign that the business of the city is
increasing as well as the population.
Kansas City stands the test Of this rule,

must not be expected 10 go further into
the details-into the things which
show your progress. It is suffl-
Gent to state that it Is apparent
IN the activity in every branch of your
diverse business, completed and under
way, and which are made necessary by
YOUR phenomenal growth. In statements

OF the eastern inves ments here and Of
their Importance to you. l am re-

dependent communities no less than in
diyiduals are upon not only the gifts of
Providence but upon each other. never
could conceive any just cause for the
jealousy on the part of the west toward
the east. II capital has accumu-
lated In the east, the newer
region OF the west needs it for
building up. If you have products to
sell surely it is no cause for offense if you
find market for them in the east. These
conditions should make friends, not jeal-
Gus and suspicious enemies. Both sec
tons are working, though perhaps in a
different line, TO make our com
mon country great and wealthy.
Remember, too, that you are fast
becoming east to that vast coun-
try beyondVou on which so much of your
future prosperity depends. When I leave
you snail go on my way to visit our
fellow citizens in the south. I snail bear
to the Older cities the impression by my
observations of the new, fresh and
astounding growth Of those of the west 1

country whose prosperity is necessary to
your prosperity. shall not find the peO-

here to national greatness and glory.
The west and the south and every section
are hand in hand in this sublime mission,
and no disCord OF partisan hate and ran
cor should be allowed to interrupt the
cadence of their steady tread"
At the conclusion of the Presidents
remarks the people were given an oppor-
tunity to greet him and his wife. They
passed rapidly through the gsngway,
four abreast, and there wss little or no
handshaking done. Even at this rate the
reception lasted until p. m, and there
were many who left disappointed. The
party returned to the Coates house at the
conclusion of the reception, for dinner.
